To (ZZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EMANUEL Ross, of Lovettsville, in the county ofLondon and State of Virginia, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Ironing Tables, of which the following is a description.

My invention is an improvement in the class of ironing-tables which aresupported by legs adapted to fold.

The invention is embodied in the construction, arrangement, andcombination of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

In accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side view of my improved table,its legs being extended and secured, as required, to support it inposition for use. Fig. i3 is a side view showing the legs folded.

The ironing-board A, constituting the table proper, may have the usualform. It is supported by three hinged legs, B C D. The two rear legs, 0D, which are of about the same width as the board A, are connected atthe top by hinges a a, and to the rear end of the board by hinges b b,thelatter being, however, applied only to the leg (3, thus leaving theleg D free to fold with and against the leg 0, as shown in Fig. 2. Theleg B is hinged to the board A near the middle of its length.

Angle-irons E are secured by screws to the foot of each leg and to thefloor F by means of detachable pins 0, that pass vertically throughholes in the horizontal portions of said angleirons and enter sockets inthe floor. The legs 0 D are braced at an angle to each other of aboutthirty-five degrees, and the leg B stands nearly vertical. I prefer tobring the feet of legs B 0 near together, so that their respectiveangle-irons may lap one on the other, and be secured to the floor by asingle pin, 0.

In use the board A is thus firmly supported, its rounded end projecting,as required, for convenience in ironing shirt fronts, ladies dresses,820. hen not required for use, it may be detached from the floor bywithdraw ing the pins E. Then, by folding the legs up against the boardand each other, as shown in Fig. 2, the table is put in compact form forbeing packed or placed away. If desired, a base-piece may be provided,and the angle irons secured to it instead of the floor.

Vhat I claim is- The combination, with the hinged legs B C, of theangle-irons E, each having an aperture, and one of them arranged, asshown, to adapt it to lap on the other, and a pin, 0, for securing bothirons to the floor, as specified.
